Demi Lovato Shares The Scoop About Her Glee Character, Dishes On The X Factor Season 3

September 6, 2013 10:00 AM EDT

Demi Lovato is pulling double duty for the Fox network at the minute – serving as a returning judge on reality singing competition “The X Factor” and filming her guest arc on “Glee.”

The all-grown-up Disney alum is set to play Dani on the show. Out of high school, she is expected to have a relationship with Naya Rivera’s Santana character.

“I get to play a lesbian on the show and that’s something that I feel like hasn’t really been brought to primetime with, you know, as a young actress,” Demi told Access Hollywood at the Season 3 premiere party for “The X Factor” in Los Angeles on Thursday night. “And I think it represents where our society is today. It’s becoming the norm and I’m really glad that I get to represent that — how far we’ve come. You know, 15 years ago you wouldn’t have seen that on TV, but now people are becoming more comfortable with it and I’m glad that I get to represent that, and also, just hopefully inspire people with my character to love who they are and accept who they are and not give a crap what other people think.”
